Gregg Steven Weinstein of Montauk, 54, was arrested in East Hampton on the evening of July 22 after allegedly disobeying an order of protection.
On North Main Street at about 9:25 p.m., East Hampton Town police said, Mr. Weinstein harassed the victim, whose name was withheld by police because it was a domestic case. In October 2018, a New York State Family Court attorney referee had ordered him to refrain from contacting the person, either verbally or physically.
He was charged with criminal contempt in the first degree, a felony, and second-degree harassment, a violation, about an hour after the incident, and was held overnight. Town Justice Steven Tekulsky released him in the morning on $500 bail.

A child was in the room at the time, police said, leading to the endangerment charge.

An 18-year-old had a small plastic bag of cocaine on him, police said, after they confronted him at 12:20 a.m. Saturday about urinating in public in Montauk.

While an officer was in process of arresting him he allegedly tried to flee, and then tensed his arms, refusing to put them behind his back to be handcuffed.
